Lego Will Create Plastic Pieces From Plants

(Undated) — Toy maker Lego is coming out with its first plant-based plastic pieces. Lego says it will manufacture some of its pieces from sustainable, plant-based plastic. The material will be sourced from sugarcane and production of the pieces has already started. They’re expected to be in Lego boxes later this year. Lego executives say children and parents won’t notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements.
